Negative First-Rate Moving & Storage LLC Reviews
Sean Donnelly, Google
they only had to move 6 big items, 3 of the 6 came broken. I spent more money replacing my tv, desk, chair, and 2nd tv than I did having them move my product.
Ally Mason, Google
They quoted me $2,600 for the move and then showed up when I had less stuff and tried to charge me $4,600.
Ping Shao, Google
My furniture has been on their truck for over two weeks, and the estimated delivery is mid next week. Don’t use this carrier if time is of essence for your family.
